Holly’s spirited retelling of “The Tortoise and the Hare,” “The Three Billy Goats Gruff,” and “The Little Red Hen” turns into a lesson on friendship, cooperation, and community. Children love these familiar classics, especially when accompanied by puppets, props, rhymes, and lots of opportunities to move to music, sing songs, and act out parts of the story. What better way for young children to learn what it means to really be a friend?
